Did he bring Tammy with him? Wow, what an embarrassing move by OM.

F King really is LSU's main graduation speaker


I hope the crowd throws things at that a-hole.

It's going to be a political speech blaming everyone else but himself on LSU's problems...never mind the damage to LSU that this jerk has done by crying wolf on CNN, Fox, and MSNBC every legislative session for years.

The main ceremony is at 8AM. Nobody that I know is even going.

Though I was wondering why they hadn't really announced the speaker. I guess the answer was that they didn't have a real speaker.

You should've just said that you were mad about F King being the speaker. Using Finebaum in your post makes it look like LSU made a good decision with F King.

You just walked in to a random office and requested your diploma? I am pretty sure you have to go to a specific office to pick it up (Office of the University Registrar).

Pretty sure Finebaum spoke at the Law School's graduation, not the main university commencement

Perfect time for him to break the news about Les' next extension.

This just shows how completely out of touch this guy is with reality. If his motivation was not paying someone, then get a local business leader or even a popular professor. Hell, some of the Poli Sci profs and/or Law School geezers are hilarious. But to put himself up there is such an arse move it boggles the mind. If he uses the platform to bitch and moan about funding he should be fired the next day. This is supposed to be a celebration of achievement and not a discussion of the institutions issues.

That would suck arse to listen to F. King imparting wisdom on the young grads.

What's he gonna tell them? His climb-to-success story?

Which is the only thing more important than an education is what crotch the Dr. yanked you out of...

That sonofabitch hasn't earned the position he currently holds, but he's the speaker at a commencement ceremony. What a joke.

And to those of you saying "rather listen to him than fineburn"

Well no shite. My question is "Why does it have to be either of those two clowns?"

mine was a summer graduation...hot as a frickhouse in the PMAC. our speaker was some random Episcopal priest who literally spoke 5 mins, much to our delight. then they had each college stand up one by one, conferred the degrees en masse to each college, and said "your diplomas are up front in alphabetical order, stand in the appropriate line and we'll hand them to you. dismissed." the entire ceremony lasted less than 30 mins.

all in all, it was the best graduation experience ever.

I had the best graduation ever (Fall 1989):

No guest speaker

No walking across stage (just stood up when our college was called.)

Took less than an hour.
